Fri, April 27, 2018 10:30 am 12:30 pm | Yann Strozecki in Links' Seminar: Methods in enumeration In enumeration we are interested in generating a set of solutions, while bounding the time needed to generate one solution. We will first present the complexity measures used in this context, simple theoritical results and a few open questions. We then introduce classical problems in this area such as the enumeration of: trees, models of a DNF, model of a FO or MSO formula, the maximal cliques of a graph, circuits of a matroid ... We use them to illustrate the algorithmic toolbox of enumeration (Gray Code, backtrack search, reverse search, saturation...). Lille B21 |

Fri, March 16, 2018 10:00 am 11:30 am | Luc Dartois in Links' Seminar: A Logic for Word Transductions with Synthesis In this talk I present a logic, called LT, to express properties of transductions, i.e. binary relations from input to output (finite) words. I argue that LT is a suitable candidate as a specification language for verification of non reactive systems, extending the successful approach of verifying synchronous systems via Mealy Machines and MSO. In LT, the input/output dependencies are modelled via an origin function which associates to any position of the output word, the input position from which it originates. LT is well-suited to express relations (which are not necessarily functional), and can express all regular functional transductions, i.e. transductions definable for instance by deterministic two-way transducers. Despite its high expressive power, LT has decidable satisfiability problems. The main contribution is a synthesis result: it is always possible to synthesis a regular function which satisfies the specification. Finally, I explicit a correspondence between transductions and data words. As a side-result, we obtain a new decidable logic for data words. Inria Lille |
Fri, March 9, 2018 10:00 am 11:00 am | Benjamin Bergougnoux : Counting minimal transversals of hypergraphs A transversal of a hypergraph H is a subset of vertices that intersects all the hyper-edges H. The enumeration and the counting of the minimal transversals have a lot of applications in many domains (graph theory, AI, datamining, etc). Counting problems are generally harder than theirs associated decision problems. For example, finding a minimal transversal is doable in polynomial time but counting them is #P-complet (the equivalent of NP-complet for counting problems). We have proved that we can count the minimal transversals of any beta-acyclique hypergraph in polynomial time. Our result is based on a recursive decomposition of the beta-acyclique hypergraph founded by Florent Capelli and by the introduction of a new notion that generalize the minimal transversals. A lot of exciting open questions live in the neighborhood of our result. In particular, our algorithm is able to count the minimum dominating set of a strong-chordal graph. But counting the minimum dominating set is #P-complete on split graphs. Is it the beginning of a complete characterization of the complexity of counting minimal dominating sets in dense graphs ?

Fri, February 16, 2018 10:30 am 11:30 am | Victor Marsault : Formal semantics of the query-language Cypher Cypher is a query-language for property-graphs. It was originally designed and implemented as part of the Neo4j graph database, and it is currently used by several commercial database products and researchers. The semantics of Cypher queries is currently described using natural language and, as a result, it is often not well defined. This work is part of a project to define a full denotational semantics of Cypher queries. The talk will first present the main features of Cypher through examples, including the core mecanism: graph pattern-matching, and then will describe the formal semantics in its current state.
